Dog's Paw, that was a really good link. Gives you an idea of the background and like Mgarner said who is whispering into people's ears. Getting things
started. The Georgian pres certainly did botch this job didn't he? Phe, I see your point. Yes what did they expect when you antagonize the bear. Kind of
like taking on Goliath. But hey, I guess they think it's better to go down fighting than just sit back and let it happen. You gotta at least make a stand
right? But, it was hardly a sneak attack. Both sides had been preparing for this for months. The Georgians have been dealing with guerrilla attacks by the
South Ossetian seperatists for some time. The Russians just didn't think the Georgians would have the nuts to actually do it!! Fight back I mean.
Obviously, the Georgians assumed the US would back them since they have been so pro-America, democratic, sending troops to Iraq.
And yeah, saying we don't invade other nations in the 21st century was pretty stupid. They have to know they are gonna get flack for that one. They should say we only invade when the cause is just. Like hunting down terrorists who kill 3,000 of your countrymen in NYC, or to bring Democracy to a people begging for help, who want us there to free them from a murderous evil dictator. I guess it depends on what side you are on as to who is right. You can either be on the left, right or on the fence.

Let's just say the governments story doesn't add
up to well.
